Quote from Arcaratus�Do you know how to allocate more RAM? That's usually the issue or maybe the world you are playing in has multiple causes of lag.
I used this command "-Xmx4096M -Xms4096M". It shows that it's using 4 GBs of ram in F3, so most likely that's not the problem.
Quote from webrosc»Is minecraft using the correct video card, check F3 in minecraft 1.8 and it will show the gpu in use, it maybe using an onboard gpu not the nVidia one
I did and it's using Intel HD graphics 4600, so that's not the problem.
You should not be allocating 4 gigabytes to an unmodded client. Too much can also slow down minecraft. It's most likely because its not using the nvidia graphics card. Built-in Intel graphics aren't ever really that good.

Why kind of FPS should I expect from my laptop?
Minecraft is using your Intel GPU not your nVidia GPU, that IS the problem.
Check the laptops power settings, you need to make sure its not in power saving mode (or whatever the setting is) so the better GPU is turned on for minecraft.

I didn't realize that there is a difference between Intel GPU and nVidia GPU, I thought that they were different names for the same thing. I looked up how to change the default Graphics card to nVidia and I found something that told me to go to the nVidia control panel and change some stuff, and I did. AND HOLY MOLY IT'S AWESOME. I can run Minecraft at top settings in an amplified world at 70 FPS no problem. The downside is that it turns my laptop into an airplane (because of all the fans going xD). But thank you very much, and I love you (No homo)

Minecraft is running slow on my laptop, and by slow I mean 25 - 35 FPS. That is considered slow because my laptop is MSI GS60 and these are its specs:
- CPU: i7-4710HQ @ 2.50GHz
- RAM: 16 GB
- Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M
- Windows 8.1, 64 bit, Java 8 SDK 64 bit
Things I've tried:- Updating all drivers
- Allocating more ram to the game (4GB to be exact, still didn't help)
- Playing older versions of the game, around same FPS
- Checking in Task manager to see if there are any other program taking processing power, nothing
Help please-
